the glass prison

sözleri aşağıda gibi olan sözlerinin uzunluğundan da anlaşılacağı gibi kendisi de uzun bir dream theater şarkısı, kimileri diyor ki müzik ziyafeti, bon apetit demek düşüyor bizlere.

cunning, baffling, powerful
(beaten to a pulp)
vigorous, irresistible
(sick and tired of laying low)
dominating, invincible
([i've got no self control)
overwhelming, unquenchable
(i'm powerless - have to let go)

i can't escape it
it leaves me frail and worn
no longer take it
senses tattered and torn

hopeless surrender
obsessions got me beat
losing the will to live
admitting complete defeat

fatal descent
spinning around
i've gone too far
to turn back 'round

desperate attempt (to)
stop the progression
at any length
limits obsession

crawl into my glass prison
a place where no one knows
my secret lowly world begins
so much safer here
a place where i can go
to forget about my daily sins

life here in my glass prison
a place i once called home
foreign maternal bliss again
chasing a long lost friend i no longer can control
just waiting for this hopelessness to end

(run) fast from the wreckage of the past
a shattered glass prison wall behind me
(fight) past walking through the ash
a distant oasis before me
(cry) desperate, crawling on my knees
begging god to please stop the insanity
(help me) try to believe
stop wallowing in my self pity

we've been waiting for you my friend
the writing's been on the wall
all it takes is a little faith
you know you're the same as us all

(help me)
i can't break out of this prison all alone
(save me)
i'm drowning and i'm hopeless on my own
(heal me)
i can't restore my sanity alone

(into the door)
desperate
(fighting the war)
help me restore
(to my sanity)
and the struggle of hope

(i need to learn)
teach me how
(solemnly burn) help me return
(to humanity)
i've been feeling secure of the way that [this struggle can hold]

believe it
(transcend the pain)
livin' the life
(humanity)
open my eyes
(this new odyssey)
a prayer inside of me
(serenity)
that i never knew
(sense of mind)
help me to find
(the courage to change all the things all that i can. huh!)

we'll help you perform this miracle
you might set your past free
you dug the hole, but you can't bury your soul
open your mind and you'll see

(help me)
i can't break out of this prison all alone
(save me)
i'm drowning and i'm hopeless on my own
(heal me)
i can't restore my sanity alone

way off in the distance i saw a door i tried to open
i tried forcing with all of my will but still the door wouldn't open
unable to trust in my faith i turned and walked away
i looked around felt a chill in the air, took my will and turned it over
the glass prison which once held me is gone, a long lost fortress
armed only with liberty and the key of my willingness
i fell down on my knees and prayed - thy will be done
i turned around saw a light shining through
the door was wide open
